Learn Permanent Makeup With a Practical, Professional Approach
Permanent makeup is both a creative and technical discipline. Developing strong results requires more than learning how to use a machine. You need an understanding of skin, colour, facial structure, hygiene, client consultation and treatment planning.
At NDI Aesthetics Academy, permanent makeup training combines theory with practical application so that students can develop the knowledge and confidence required to work professionally with clients.
Our training covers multiple areas of PMU, including brows, lip blush, permanent eyeliner, advanced brow mapping and machine and pigment theory.
Your training should prepare you for real clients, not just
for a certificate.
Our approach focuses on technical understanding, practical experience and developing your confidence as a PMU artist.
